The little baby is delicate and cute, and the mother loves it very much, but sometimes the breath from the baby's mouth is foul smelling and unpleasant. Such a small baby should not have had such problems. Usually, it is due to abnormal physical conditions that need to be adjusted and resolved for the baby. So, which part of the baby's bad breath should be massaged?
Baby's bad breath can be massaged at Laogong acupoint. Laogong acupoint is an important acupoint in the human body, located in the center of the palm. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is the fire acupoint above the pericardium meridian. Proper massage of the Laogong acupoint can alleviate symptoms of internal heat, and most cases of bad breath in babies are also caused by internal heat. Therefore, massaging the Laogong acupoint five to ten times a day can help solve the problem. Babies can also eat some foods or traditional Chinese medicine to regulate their internal heat.
But some babies also have bad breath due to indigestion and the smell of accumulated food in their stomachs. Mothers should massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction with their palms for about ten minutes, or feed probiotics, which can help resolve food accumulation and reduce bad breath. Bad breath in infants may also be caused by excessive consumption of sweets, leading to the corrosion of their baby teeth and the development of dental caries. In this case, it is necessary to treat dental caries and pay attention to the baby's oral hygiene.
If the baby's bad breath is severe and difficult to eliminate, it may be due to nasal diseases such as sinusitis. Bad breath caused by rhinitis requires treatment, and diet and massage are often ineffective.
